Pastoral Termination

Interesting article that states that as many as four in ten pastors will be forced to leave a church -- either by firing or pressured resignation -- at least once during their ministry careers, according to researchers.

As I read it, my heart ached. Nobody knows what a pastor goes through. It's not even possible for them to imagine how lonely it can be for not only him, but also his family. I hope that you are praying for your pastor, and thinking many times over before you say something against him or his family. Yes, they make mistakes, and some of those mistakes may need to be addressed, but those mistakes need to be handled according to Matthew 18:15.

The Need for Repentance

Why would anybody repent of their sin if everybody around them is making an excuse for it?

Just think about how many families at least said that they believed what the Bible says on an issue until it hits a little closer to home. I mean, the Bible all of sudden takes on a different meaning just because a member of the family decides they don't want to believe it? I don't think so.

God does not change. The way He felt about sin yesterday is the same way that He feels about it today and will feel about it tomorrow.

Here's a Thought

I just heard a preacher say that to walk purposely in sin is to reject God. I agree with that statement even if it is only momentarily.
